[PATCH 1/2] Revert "drm/amd: Remove freesync video mode amdgpu parameter"

This reverts commit e94e787e37b99645e7c02d20d0a1ba0f8a18a82a.

This conflicts with how compositors want to handle VRR.  Now
that compositors actually handle VRR, we probably don't need
freesync video.

+ * can read this modeset list and change the refresh rate based on the video
+ * frame rate. Finally, the userspace can also derive an appropriate mode for a
+ * particular refresh rate based on the FreeSync Mode and add it to the
